That reminds me: does anyone in contact with local arcade owners know if any plans to obtain MBAA are in place? It's only like 2 1/2 months away.

The main reason not to play Arcana Hearts on PS2 is the same as the main reason not to play Arcana Hearts on anything else:

It sucks ass

Even if NorCal can't win any tournaments, they can certainly make the most useless threads.
Gotta be #1 at something, I guess.

If you have less than ~17 ms of ping then online is fine for fighting games. If the games were designed better a higher ping would be fine too. As for net cafes and people's houses, people can play in real-time at those places. The reason arcades are inferior is not connection speeds but the amount of money they cost to operate vs the amount of money they reasonably generate and how they hold back the industry technologically with needlessly and excessively expensive hardware. It's true that they're one of the places competitive gaming originated but they're quickly becoming obsolete. I've been to more gatherings at people's houses and other random events than proper arcades. I've been to more tournaments held on consoles and PCs than arcade hardware. Meeting more players for a game is much easier online and if you NEED the lagless experience it's not difficult to find people in your area and meet with them at a house, net cafe, college rec room, whatever.

The reason that they release arcade versions first is because in japan arcades are the major gamer gathering spots.  Arcades in the states are usually crap and dont pull in as much money because people would much rather sit on their couch and play XBox Live.

So, since their target market is japanese, and the largest market would be the arcades(also due to piracy concerns), arcade releases are the best profit.

Game publishers would make more money if anything if they released directly to PC/console rather than arcades, especially if they set up a digital distribution system for their products. The arcades would die off unless they changed their format (net cafes) but sad fucking story if they don't. Without them, more games would be online and have better net-code and it's not like a lack of arcades = a lack of in-person competitive play. The only reason all this hasn't already happened is because big companies with a shit-ton of management layers are slow to change and often the people making decisions don't understand or properly communicate the factors involved to get anything done. The arcade machine/PCB manufacturers are also invested in not being wiped out so they actively convince their clients that their distribution method is the most viable. It's true that arcades are sustainable in Japan but they're really an inferior place for social/competitive gaming compared to the internet, net cafes and people's houses.

It's kinda fucking stupid that you could spend thousands of dollars for an arcade machine + PCB that may soon be obsolete due to an PC release + online patches. It's also fucking stupid that you might have to wait 6 months or more just to play the most recent arcade version on PC or console because you didn't want to risk thousands of dollars. The companies can only get away with those convoluted ass-backwards distribution models because obsessed nerds shell out for them. Fuck Japan.

You all should probably start talking to arcade staffs or planning some sort of fund to get Actress Again. If you wanna stay competitive you should get it as soon as possible after release.

Wallachia is actually the name of the ex-city-state which Vlad III (a.k.a Vlad the Impaler or Vlad Dracula, the person that the original fictional character Dracula was based on) was a prince of.

I'll PayPal $25 to anyone who makes a yaoi doujin of Mizuki and Magz getting pissed at each other and then getting down and dirty as their anger brings them close enough to realize their true feelings~
$5 extra if you work Arly into it.

Magz's new name reflects his bizarre fantasies about me 
But I am quitting. Not due to a player but due to various mechanics and move properties and other bullshit that I've grown annoyed enough with that I don't really consider the enjoyment I derive from the game worth the time I spend on it.
